Anarchy Online

Threyre running a deal where its only $9.95 for several months. I want to see if anyone plays/ has played/ tried it and liked it?

Need opinions. I might just give this game a try.

Why do you think it's so cheap?
Crap game.

AO is extremely unfriendly to new players. There is just way too much to learn, yet there is no adequate tutorial or documentation that'll help you figure things out. And gameplay is pretty crummy, really. The world is plain and unremarkable, and the cities are largely empty. The playerbase is shrinking as well, so during the month I played, there was very little activity.

AO Is the best MMORPG if you're in to the cyberpunk scene. (IE - Not the whole "oh look at my horse and broadsword crap in everquest etc)

I'd reccomend you download the 7 day free trial going on at the moment and try for yourself. Sure it's not the prettiest of games, but it's one of the the best MMORPGs around.

AO was one of the best MMORPGS ever. The gameplay was awesome...and the first dungeon, the subway...God that rocked...So much atmosphere.

I had like a lvl 12 medic on rubi-ka 1
That game pwned. I played it until swg came out, I played it for like a week or 2 I think.

[NoSurrender]

i played it for a while and it got weird, umm like getting forced into being married.

I played an AO trial one time. The game wasn't much fun, i got stuck in a wall for 10 minuates not 2 minuates after I started playing. I dont really remember much other then that and playing as an obease black man w/ afro and clownlike clothing. oh and my weapon looked like an alien (from the movie Alien) skull.

I agree. It was asstastic back in the day but IMO it's improved 120%. Probably the best future MMORPG on the market. Talk to LunarWarrior, he played for a long time..

The new expansion looks good too.

The first 6 months or so were horrid, but most MMOs start out really bad.

I used to play neocron, was a good game... the only problem was - levelling sucked at first, and also the combat was bad, would have been much better if the combat was like an FPS.

[Everay]

neocron still around? thats that other MMOFPS right? i heard about it once, but nothing after that.

You want a good MMO. Get Eve. It owns AO hardcore.

The game itself costs 10 bucks more then AO, but if you get a 7 day free trial of eve and like it, ill paypal you the extra 10 to buy the game. Seriously. (Offer valid for Eine only) I want more PSU people to play with.

EVE sucks more cock than Octavian's mom during Fleet Week

[Fragmatic]

EVE is good if you want to be a miner.

I'm afraid your opinion means shit to me on the topic of MMOs, as you love Eve.

Edit: beta'd eve, tried a friends account a few months after release, it still sucked.
I'm not going back.
..ever.
